Seeing Xiao Lingyu’s confused expression, Yan Siming raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Don’t be so confused, you’re my little firecracker!”

Xiao Lingyu had black lines over her head. However, since Young Master Yan was on her side, she didn’t argue with him. But that didn’t mean he could call her whatever he wanted.

Xiao Lingyu pulled on her facial muscle. Her smile was as fake as it could be. She said, “Should I thank Young Master Yan for bequeathing upon me this nickname then?”

Internally she rolled her eyes. ‘Little firecracker, where did he get that idea?’

If she had such an explosive personality, she wouldn’t have been deceived so badly by Chen Ran in her previous life. She wouldn’t lose her reputation and couldn’t even stand up for herself.

Xiao Lingyu glanced at Yan Siming suspiciously. She grabbed a random man off the street to act as her shield. She didn’t expect to strike gold.

She hadn’t really taken actual revenge, but Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman had already done Xiao Lingyu’s job for her… provided the man beside her was really that legendary Young Master Yan.

At that moment, someone’s phone rang. When Zhao Wenman heard that, she panicked. She looked around and asked angrily, “Who-whose phone is ringing? Our company has a policy to turn off their phone to silent mode during work. Who is so stupid to violate such a simple rule?”

Everyone turned towards her. They looked at her expensive purse. It was clear that the ringing came from her purse.

Yan Siming smiled mockingly. “Looks like the company rules don’t apply to the higher management. Miss Zhao, your tyranny has opened my eyes today!”

The insult stunned Zhao Wenman, but she quickly recovered. She turned to her branded purse. When she confirmed the ringing did come from her purse, her heart tightened. Her hands trembled as she opened the bag.

When she took the phone out of the bag and saw the caller ID, she almost threw the phone away.

She picked up the call hesitantly. “Hello, Dad…”

Then, an angry voice came from the phone.

Zhao Huiqing roared, “Zhao Wenman, you stupid woman, why did you go and offend Young Master Yan? Thanks to you, the Yan Corporation has broken off its partnership with Huiqing Group! Do you know how serious the consequence is? Let me tell you, in just a few minutes, so many other clients called to cancel their contracts with Huiqing Corporation!”

Zhao Huiqing was furious and shocked. Just minutes ago, he received a call from Yan Siming’s secretary that Yan Corporation would cancel all partnerships with Huiqing Group. Before he could react, many other calls came in to withdraw the contracts with Huiqing Group. Now that Zhao Huiqing was on the way down, people didn’t hide their mockery. They praised his bravery for offending Young Master Yan. Some even laughed in his face for raising such a wonderful daughter. She had the guts to go against Young Master Yan, truly a heroine.

Zhao Huiqing was angry and embarrassed. He had always doted on his daughter, but this time she caused such a big tragedy. Usually, no matter how crazy his daughter acted, Zhao Huiqing would protect her. But this time, she created a catastrophe. One that could make Huiqing Group go bankrupt!

Zhao Wenman tightened her grip on the phone, and her face turned pale. She asked in confusion, “Young Master Yan? Yan Siming?”

She looked at the man who was protecting Xiao Lingyu. Zhao Wenman was panicking.

A bad premonition arose in her heart.

‘This is really Yan Siming? How is this possible? Why is Xiao Lingyu with Yan Siming? Did they really hook up yesterday night? Yan Siming slept with Xiao Lingyu, so he accompanied Xiao Lingyu to the company to seek revenge?’

A call from Yan Siming and the Yan Corporation did break off all ties with Huiqing Group.

Huiqing Group was a famous company in City Z but compared to Yan Corporation, it was nothing. They were like an ant and an elephant.

Even if Huiqing Group gave it their all, they couldn’t even shake Yan Corporation. But if Yan Corporation even moved an inch, it could bury Huiqing Group easily.

Zhao Wenman’s heart filled with fear, but when she looked at Xiao Lingyu, her eyes burned with hatred. Underneath that hatred was jealousy. She was resentful.

Zhao Huiqing was still cursing loudly on the phone. “Stupid girl, how can you be so dumb to offend Young Master Yan? You’re going to be the end of the Huiqing Group. In fact, from now on, you’re no longer my daughter. You are no longer a member of the Zhao Family.” When Zhao Huiqing said that, his tone was ruthless.

Zhao Wenman’s face was extremely ashen. She screamed, “Dad, no! Please listen to me… I didn’t know he was Young Master Yan. It was not my intention to offend him…” She tried to explain, but Zhao Huiqing angrily interrupted her, “Zhao Wenman, I don’t care if you did this deliberately or not. If you can’t get Young Master Yan to forgive you and make him resume cooperating with Huiqing Group, you’re not my daughter anymore. Miss Zhao, that means that you’re not getting another cent from me, and stop calling me dad!”

Zhao Wenman was flustered. She nodded and cried, “Okay, dad. I will get Young Master Yan’s forgiveness!”

Her heart was also filled with endless regret.

If only she had recognized Yan Siming at the start, then she wouldn’t have purposely offended him. Then, this wouldn’t have happened.

So for Zhao Wenman, this was all Yan Siming’s fault. If he was Young Master Yan, why would he deny it? And now, he was using despicable methods to harm her and the Huiqing Group. The man was horrible.

Zhao Wenman gritted her teeth in anger. She leveled a poisonous gaze at Xiao Lingyu. ‘This is all the bitch’s fault. If she didn’t bring Yan Siming to the company, none of this would have happened.’

Such is human nature. Zhao Wenman was the one who wanted to frame Xiao Lingyu, but her plan had backfired with the introduction of Yan Siming.

If Zhao Wenman didn’t frame Xiao Lingyu, would Xiao Lingyu need to find a random man off the street and bring him to the company?

Moreover, if Zhao Wenman didn’t act all high and mighty and call someone she didn’t even know a male prostitute, would Yan Siming be so angered to take this retaliation on her?

So, in short, Zhao Wenman had brought this upon herself.

Zhao Wenman hated Yan Siming and Xiao Lingyu. But she knew that at that moment, the most important thing she needed to do was to seek Yan Siming’s forgiveness and get the Yan Corporation to work with Huiqing Group again.

Xiao Lingyu might have Yan Siming on her side now, but Zhao Wenman knew the man wouldn’t stick by her side forever. After this issue was resolved, Zhao Wenman would find other ways to seek revenge on Xiao Lingyu!

Zhao Wenman walked towards Yan Siming, bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered with a flushed face, “Young Master Yan, I’m sorry! Please be magnanimous. You wouldn’t fault me for my ignorance, right?”
